CALWAVE

Calwave is one of a number of projects at California Polytechnic University developing wave power technology

The California Wave Energy Test Center (CalWaveSM) is one of a number of projects created under the auspices of the Institute for Advanced Technology and Public Policy (IATPP) at California Polytechnic University at San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly). The mission of the Institute is to develop and promote practical solutions to real-world problems by informing and driving public policy through advanced technology. The CalWaveSM project was originally created partly in response to the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) indication of its intention to accelerate the development of wave-energy technologies in the United States and to construct a world-class National Wave Energy Testing Facility where technology manufacturers can pilot their devices in a true commercial, grid connected marine setting.
